The trek was amazing, with spectacular views and well maintained trails. What stood out for me was our Third Rock Adventures guide, Shiva, and porter, Nima. They both made sure that I was as warm and comfortable as possible in the tea houses and set a steady, easy pace to follow on the trail. The fresh fruit and cookies they brought along were nice little treats at the end of the day. Shiva was eager to answer all of my questions; he has good English language skills, making it easy to chat and learn about Nepal. Our Third Rock Adventures team stood out among many of the other guides and porters we encountered on the trek, and I felt very lucky to be with them.
